Some rubber rings to put into the washing machine to collect cat hair. They don't work as well as I'd like. Most likely because I put a cat blanket in, covered with cat hair. Maybe those rings can only collect so much hair.

Also got a book 'What I Mean When I Say I'm Autistic' by Annie Kotowicz.

i know those green square scotchbrite dish scrubbers are good for getting cat hair off furniture. I've never tried on a blanket but it seems like it would work if it were held down. Just rub it in circles. If you don't have one, the scrubby side of a dish sponge is basically the same thing.  :thumbup:

I had never thought of using a dish scrubber or sponge before, thanks for the tip. :)  I have a device I can't explain that gets cat hair off cushions and furniture by just running it up and down. Cat hair (or human hair) collects in the back of it and can be easily gathered up and thrown out.

That's an old school trick I learned over thirty years ago. My first job out of highschool was residential cleaning and one of my clients had a hairy cat chair. My boss taught me the dish scrubber trick to deal with it. That fancy modern device you have might be a better option.  :lol1:

This was Friday: my back scrubber for the shower, it's really good. And a letter from the endocrinology department at Rockingham hospital, I have an appointment on the 3rd of February.

Chicago Manual of Style, The Best Grammar Book, Period. The Merriam Webster Collegiate Dictionary (it has pictures in it).

It made for a heavy package.

Some tax stuff and some junk. One of the junks was a cleaning company. Years ago Jack wanted to get one when she was working every waking moment, but sugarbutt couldn't handle the idea of a stranger coming in and touching all our stuff. I held up the junk and said ooooooo maid service!! He looked at me like I was crazy and said, maid service? I just laughed and said I don't want maid service.  :lol1:

I was all for getting a cleaner in to do our floors regularly. But Kayleigh is of the same view as your Sugarbutt, she doesn't want strangers in our house.

^Love the hair towels. Can't wrap it up quickly though, my hair is getting long.

Today I received a book - Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood. It's part 1 of a trilogy so I'm expecting the other two soon.
